Two of the plaintiffs in court cases against Sen. Barack Obama, the president-elect, are working to move their cases forward before his presidential inauguration.
Philip J. Berg, the attorney who filed suit against Mr. Obama challenging him to produce his original birth certificate to prove he meets the constitutional requirements to serve as U.S. president. Mr. Berg filed a Writ of Certiorari in the U.S. Supreme Court late in October, in an effort to force Mr. Obama to produce the document.
Accordingly, the U.S. Supreme Court has said that Mr. Obama, the DNC and all co-defendants are to respond to the writ, on or before Dec. 1.
The judge in Mr. Berg's original case ruled that Mr. Berg does not have standing to enforce the constitutional requirements on a presidential candidate. Mr. Berg appealed the ruling to the Supreme Court.

Better to have Biden in the Oval Office than to set a precedent that the clear language of the Constitution no longer has any enforceable meaning. If Obama were ever proven to not be a natural born citizen (although frankly, I think the burden of proof ought to be on him), then allowing him to serve would quite literally be the end of Constitutional government in the US.
(I can hear all the liberals saying "you say that like it's a BAD thing.")
If B. Hussein is a fraud the whole democratic ticket would be a fraud.
Wouldn’t we have to get President McCain/Vice President Palin since they would be the highest vote getters of legal contestants on the November 5th ballot?
This is like the evil version of Milli Vanilli.
We need to see his passport.
Amendment 15
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT VOTERS POSSESS AT LEAST THE SAME BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF THE HISTORY AND THE FOUNDING PRINCIPLES OF THE UNITED STATES THAT IS REQUIRED OF IMMIGRANTS WISHING TO BECOME CITIZENS?
AND HOW ABOUT REQUIRING THAT ELIGIBLE VOTERS HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE OF THE CANDIDATES AND ISSUES ON THE BALLOT?
Fat chance, right??
PS: I’d LIKE to take this further – MUCH further – but this place is already too far gone to even get the two listed above.
Biden is automatic if the disqualification takes place after the electors have voted (December).
Yup. And Ahnold is in the thick of the fight to overturn Prop 8...
Look. Get real. Do you REALLY believe Obama will comply? What should be the nation’s top story is being hidden by the Press Brothel.
Does anyone here personally know Bob Barr or Ron Paul, or Ralph Nader? As presidential contenders anyone who ran against the Obamessiah should have standing in this case, and thye can file a joinder to Berg’s case. Anyone know anyone of these guys?
*shrug* People who can’t diet two days running have no business threatening God with a hunger strike...
Hmmm. I think I saw Dec. 15 if memory serves.
“...posting that fake Certificate of Life Birth on FactCheck.org ..and saying it proves Obama was born in the US. .”
Just because my driver’s license says I weight 105 lbs doesn’t make it so.
Unfortunately.

We truly need to purge all RINOs from the party and fast.
Neither is possible. The Congress might pass such an amendment, but three-quarters of the state legislatures simply will not vote to do so. And any "declaration" of BO "to be a US citizen" is foreclosed by the ex post facto law clause of the Constitution.
Oh, great. Just who we need to present a believable case. /s, just in case.
We cannot simply abandon our country. If ONE state would pass legislation (preferably either a large state or one that is early in the primary process) requiring eligibility before they can go on the ballot, it would eliminate this particular problem.
We must tackle the problems as we reasonably can. This is a flaw in the system, and we need to correct it. It must be done in a state system.
Surely there is at least one state that has enough conservatives and blue dog democrats to pass something like this. We simply cannot continue to abdicate our responsibility as a state to the corrupt DNC and RNC.
If it came down to it, they can get it moving as fast as they need to. If anyone dare vote against it they would be labeled as racist.............
Agree, we need to keep pushing this issue. Obviously there is something to hide.
Here’s what I don’t understand...how does it happen that sealed records of a divorce between two private people be opened (Ryan) and a simple birth certifcate that is a requirement for the office of POTUS can’t. I JUST DON’T GET IT.
Lefty Biden would be a puppet run by obama and his even-more-lefties. At least we could laugh our butts off at him every day while he disassembled our country piece by piece.
